Feature request: Top solver list
By sgaflv, 14 years ago, In English

We now have two lists of "Top" people. The "Top rated" and "Top contributors" lists.

I think it would be a rewarding experience, if there was yet another "Top solver" list, sorting the registered people by the number of problems they have solved. That would stimulate low rated participants to practice more while enjoying small advancements in another type of ladder. What do you think? :)

Problemset - Standings

Or this is not that you are talking about? You want to see list of users sorted by number of problems they had solved during contests?

by "Top solver" list do you mean problem solved during the contest or after the contest ?

I think,
if it is created according to the number of solved during the contest then it would not make any difference.
because low rated participants would not be encouraged by this. Top rated people will definitely be at the top.

Again, 
if it is created according to the number of solved after the contest then there is a high possibility that some 
will cheat <see others code & submit it ... ... ...>

so, i think , we should figure out some thing better to solve this.

Yes, you are both right, the "Top solver" feature is implemented now in the way I imagined it, including the "friends only" filter.

Because of the opportunity to cheat, this statistics can be fake for some people so this list shouldn't be located at the front page.
